OK. Let me clarify the obvious question being asked right
\nnow.<\/p>\n
Yes. You are reading the band name in this review correctly. Lo
\nand behold, there is actually a band named the Backstreet Girls
\nwhich is comprised of four boys, not to be confused with the four
\ngir\u2026err, I mean boys that formed the 1990’s pinup pop band
\nknown worldwide as the Backstreet Boys. And guess what – they’ve
\nbeen around twenty years, which easily predates their American
\nsiblings. Sparing further confusion between the two bands, it needs
\nto be noted that it’s Norway’s Backstreet Girls that actually
\nattempt to rock and not the Boys. Got it?<\/p>\n
Well, future clarifications will only get easier as the songs on<\/p>\n
Tuff Tuff Tuff<\/i> won’t confuse anyone as being anything but
\ntracks derivative of the rock stylings of AC\/DC, perfected. It’s
\nhard to offer up much defense in using such a tired comparison when
\ndescribing what a rock band these days sounds like, but rock legend
\nhas it that it was the Backstreet Girls that gave the world a
\nprevious album titled
\nHellway to High<\/i>. Furthermore, the band declares in the
\nTuff Tuff Tuff<\/i> liner notes that “this album is perfect for
\nparties and should be played at absolute maximum volume!!!” For
\nwriters my age, this declaration means only one thing
\nand\u2026.<\/p>\n
\u20261980 it’s not. Repeated listens of
\nTuff Tuff Tuff<\/i> won’t make you forget
\nBack in Black<\/i> or the keggers during that decade which
\ncemented the Young brothers’ album into legendary status.
\nLyrically, the songs on
\nTuff Tuff Tuff<\/i> are equally as simple as the ones of their
\nAussie forefathers, but lack any comparable innuendo that AC\/DC
\nlittered throughout their albums – sexual or otherwise. And it’s
\nfor that reason, in this writer’s humble opinion, that AC\/DC songs
\nwill be remembered and even revered as such cleverness is the
\nprimary reason their albums are owned by the millions. On the flip
\nside, the lack of creativity is exactly why the Backstreet Girls
\nsongs on Tuff Tuff Tuff are easily forgotten and owned by the
\nminions.<\/p>\n
Harsh criticism, eh? Even when the band steps up and covers the
\nRose Tattoo song “Magnum Maid,” the thought hits me that the
\nvocalist, Bj\u00f8rn M\u00fcller, is severely lacking a chainsaw
\nas I hear him double the voice of Jackyl’s Jesse James Dupree.
\nAgain, the Backstreet Girls lack the schtick to make such simple
\nmusical arrangements interesting.<\/p>\n
A not-so-obvious introduction can only mean an obvious
\nconclusion to this review. Go see these songs performed at a gig
\nwhen the band rolls through town. And don’t forget to drink a lot
\nof beer first, as
\nTuff Tuff Tuff<\/i> is nothing better than bar band fare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":26749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[7044],"rating":[5616],"class_list":["post-38014","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-backstreet-girls","rating-rating-d"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38014"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=38014"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=38014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
